Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Lortet vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lortet in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. 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 trigger the alarms. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
