If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Abernathy. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Abernathy, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
