Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Eggstatt escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Eggstatt, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
