Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Mutari vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Mutari in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
