No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Havana escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure 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 sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple --- be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Havana, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray 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.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
