If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Ramot Menashe. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Ramot Menashe easy and painless. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Have your passport and travel documents at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
