If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Corriganville.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Corriganville in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
