Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Temecula could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Temecula, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
