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

• A plane trip can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Nottoway, here you come:

• Keep your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
