Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your San Prospero vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to San Prospero a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your boarding pass and ID handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
