No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Somers escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Somers, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• 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 your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
