Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’ve prepared well. We’ve compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Kaga escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It’s also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Kaga a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don’t hold up the line.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
• Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
