Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Buken escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Buken, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
