No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Stanfield escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

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 box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Stanfield in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
