If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Lanexa. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Lanexa, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
