If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a comfortable start to your time in Humansdorp. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Humansdorp in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside 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.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
