If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Ahsahka.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Ahsahka easy and painless. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product 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.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
