No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Lom escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, 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:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Lom, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
