Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Vadasserikonam vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before your flight will make your getaway to Vadasserikonam a piece of cake. We've compiled some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
