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

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

It's simple --- be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Avoca, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
