If you’re not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Conakry.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you’ll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don’t forget to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There’s lots you can do to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Conakry in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID close by. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There’s a possibility that you’ll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
