Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Nortrup escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Nortrup a breeze. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take 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 possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
