If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Skamby.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Skamby a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
