Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Waknaghat vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Waknaghat, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
