Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Brusubi vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels 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 possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to pack a jacket just in case you get cold. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks can also help.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Brusubi before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, 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 need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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.
