• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Alcantara in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It’s also possible you’ll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
