If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a stress-free start to your time in Plaxtol.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Plaxtol in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
