Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Llanbrynmair escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Llanbrynmair in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take 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.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
