No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Kodiak escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Kodiak a pleasure. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
