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

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, 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. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Muravera easy and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
