Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Jabugo vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Jabugo, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
