If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your getaway in Kopasker.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be the goal when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Look out Kopasker, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and ID handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
