If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Ivanica.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Ivanica, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• 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 luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
