Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Arvier escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Arvier before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
