If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Fallston.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Fallston in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
