Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Harrietsfield escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Harrietsfield a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite 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, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
