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

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Herzliya Pituach, here you come:

• Keep your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
