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

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Matagalpa, here you come:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
