Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Zalom escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Zalom quick and painless. Read through our top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
