No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Oakman escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Oakman a piece of cake. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
