If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your vacation in Oxford.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Oxford in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
