Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Kantunilkín escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

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 banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels 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 in natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Kantunilkín quick and painless. Below are some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear 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. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
