If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Walton-on-the-Hill.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects 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 aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Walton-on-the-Hill a piece of cake. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
