If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Sölvesborg. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Sölvesborg a piece of cake. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
