• A plane ride can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

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 avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Rio Vista before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume 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), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
