Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Ellerslie escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Ellerslie a pleasure. Read through our handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your travel documents and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
