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

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Centreville a breeze. Read through our top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, 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.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
