If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your vacation in Anza.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be the goal when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Anza in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
