Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Lekawica escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Lekawica in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal 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.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
