If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your vacation in Lakhisarai. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Lakhisarai a pleasure. Below you'll find some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
