Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Pimprez vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Pimprez, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
