No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Moissac-Bellevue vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Moissac-Bellevue in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container 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 required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
