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

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Gurtweil, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
