Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Nanegalito escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Nanegalito easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
