If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Ono Island. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Ono Island, here you come:

• Have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
