No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Bippen escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and take a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Bippen in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• 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 on board and will be confiscated.
