Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Kuttabul escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Kuttabul a breeze. Here are some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
