If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Alos.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Alos quick and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
