Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Dawsonville vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Dawsonville, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
