If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in Killawog.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or 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 Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before your flight will make your getaway to Killawog easy and painless. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
