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

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your trip to Nisula a breeze. Check out our handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
