Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Omemee vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Omemee in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking 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, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
