If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Dalvay.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

The trick is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Dalvay in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
