Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Worth vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

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 avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Worth before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
