Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Aijala vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Aijala easy and painless. Read through our useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
