Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Nqutu vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple --- first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Nqutu a breeze. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
