Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Pulehu escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and bring a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Pulehu in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Have your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
