Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Long Semado escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.

Being organized before your flight will help make your trip to Long Semado a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
