If you're not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Riverbend. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Riverbend, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels 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 in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
