No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Nilo escape started on the right foot.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

The secret is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Nilo in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product 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-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
