Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Nanaksar vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Nanaksar, here you come:

• Have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
