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

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Dawson a breeze. Check out our handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
