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

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

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 carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Jandowae a breeze. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, 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), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
