If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your vacation in Drimoleague.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Drimoleague, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• 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 baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
