• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Tarakeswar in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
