If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Trelash. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Trelash in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
