If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Simpson.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Simpson, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
