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

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Look out Maimara, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
