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

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

It's simple --- be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Islandia, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones 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. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
