If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your vacation in Nerotrivia.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Nerotrivia, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
