If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Angerville.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and bring a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Angerville in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
