Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Silver Lake escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Silver Lake in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
