If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Tikinmul.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Tikinmul, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container 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 asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
