If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Bach.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Bach, here you come:

• Keep your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• 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 such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
