If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a worry-free start to your vacation in Ryley.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Ryley, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take 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-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
