Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Westbury-on-Severn vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

The secret is to be organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Westbury-on-Severn in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
