Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Sangla vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Sangla before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take 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), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
