If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Onani.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and pack a pullover just in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

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

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
