If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Weston.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

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 your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Weston quick and painless. Check out our handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray 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.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
