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

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Edgewood in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
