If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Kocani.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Kocani a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
