No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Core Creek escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

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 one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols 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:

• Comfort really should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Core Creek a piece of cake. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
