If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Longdon. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Longdon in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
