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

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Hiltons, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
