Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Valley of Casablanca escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

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 avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Valley of Casablanca, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
