Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Great Chishall vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft 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.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Great Chishall in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
