Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Skodje escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up 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:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Skodje in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, 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 belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
