If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your time in Clayton.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner 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. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Clayton, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
