Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Sachrang escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

The trick is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Sachrang in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach 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 might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be 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 sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
