No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Argyle escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, 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:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and pack a jacket in case you get cold. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Argyle, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
