If you're not prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your time in Spanish Town.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Spanish Town a breeze. Below you'll find some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Have your travel documents and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
