No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Triadelphia vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Triadelphia, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
