If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Settrington.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Settrington, here you come:

• Have your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
