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

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Lorenzana before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
