If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your vacation in Brunehaut.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Brunehaut a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
