No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Mount Vision vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Mount Vision, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
