No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Pleasant Point vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs 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 avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Pleasant Point quick and painless. We've compiled some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a 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 permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
