If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Le Locle.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Le Locle, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
