If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Bude.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

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 avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and pack a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Bude before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
