Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Crystal Falls escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Look out Crystal Falls, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
