No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Wilderville vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Wilderville quick and painless. Here are some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil 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-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
