If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Chascomus. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

The secret is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Chascomus before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
