No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Bovingdon escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Bovingdon, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
