No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Port Talbot escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Port Talbot easy and painless. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
