If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a pain-free start to your getaway in A Veiga. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out A Veiga, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
