If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your getaway in Kaolack.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change 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 baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Kaolack before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Keep your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
