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

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Passart quick and painless. Check out our top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
