If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Truckland.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be the goal when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Truckland, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
