If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your getaway in Nanango. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Nanango, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
