Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Tserkezoi escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure 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 guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Tserkezoi in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
