Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Newlands escape started on the right foot.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Newlands, here you come:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, 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 trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
