If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your vacation in Čanj.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

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

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
