Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Eastbrook vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Eastbrook before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket 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 laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
