Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy tips that will get your Lowndesville escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and bring a sweater just in case you get cold. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Lowndesville, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
