Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Settam escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Settam a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, 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 chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• 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.
