Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Mouxy vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a jacket just in case you get cold. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Mouxy in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal 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.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
