If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Ghalboun. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels 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 temperature by wearing layers, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Ghalboun, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
