If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Gadarwara. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Gadarwara in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container 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 bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
