Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Burpham escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Burpham, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
