If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Harbour Grace.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Harbour Grace quick and painless. Below you'll find some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
