If you're not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your time in Marske-by-the-Sea. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Marske-by-the-Sea, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
