Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your Nalauwaki vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Nalauwaki, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. 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.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
