Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Orangeville escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Orangeville a piece of cake. Read through our handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne or 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, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
