If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Sobota. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Sobota a pleasure. Check out our handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
