Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Averill Park escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items 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:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Averill Park, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
