No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Tywyn vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Tywyn in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
