If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Garons. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember 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 sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, 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:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Garons a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Have your travel documents and ID within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with 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, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
