No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Hellnar escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Hellnar, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
