If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Bi'r Hukir.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Bi'r Hukir easy and painless. Below are some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Have your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
