Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Lyons escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Lyons a breeze. Below you'll find some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
