Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Shattuckville vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Shattuckville easy and painless. Below are some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
