Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Al Ruwais escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

It's simple --- be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Al Ruwais, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
