Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Bertangles vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Bertangles a breeze. We've compiled some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
