Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Muleshoe escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Muleshoe a pleasure. Below are some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
