Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Lake Tabourie escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Lake Tabourie, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
