If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Viljandi. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Viljandi in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
