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

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Bendosari, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
