If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Tiverton.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Tiverton, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
