If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your vacation in Newcastle.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant 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 luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks is also recommended.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Newcastle, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
