Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Minden escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

It's simple --- be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Minden, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
