Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Silvercreek escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is --- be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Silvercreek, here you come:

• Keep your ID and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
