No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Denton escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Denton in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
