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

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Pedona, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
