If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a pleasant start to your time in Kelsall.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Kelsall in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Your jacket, belt, 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 your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
