• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be the goal when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There’s lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

It’s all about being organized. We’ve put together some top tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Barisal, here you come:

• Have your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to show at security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne? As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
