No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Monleale vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Monleale, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
