If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Lavonia.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

The simple answer is --- be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Watch out Lavonia, here you come:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
