Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Vale could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The answer is --- be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Vale, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
