If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Monaco Mirante. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Monaco Mirante in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
