Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Don Tum vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and bring a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Don Tum easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail 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, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
