If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Labourdonnais.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Look out Labourdonnais, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
