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

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Plainevaux, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
