No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Erode escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Erode in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? 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-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes 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 additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
