If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Plantersville.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Plantersville quick and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
