No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Victoria escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being organized before your flight will help make your trip to Victoria a breeze. We've compiled some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
