No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Witham escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and bring a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Witham, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
