If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Kefar Kish. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Kefar Kish a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, 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 before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
