No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Marthasville vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Marthasville, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
