Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Sanger escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Sanger a pleasure. Check out our useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
