Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Betz vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Betz, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
