If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your vacation in Gizycko.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your highest priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Gizycko, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
