If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your vacation in Grant-Valkaria. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, 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:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Grant-Valkaria, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
