Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Genos escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Genos in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
