Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Abington vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

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 screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Abington a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
