If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a stress-free start to your time in Kungalv.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze 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 authorities. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be the goal when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Kungalv, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
