Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Spinoso vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Spinoso easy and painless. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
