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

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Lithopolis, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
