Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Porum escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Porum, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item 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-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
