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

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Novopavlovka, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. 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 single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
