If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Chippewa Lake.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

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 Chippewa Lake in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
