If you're not prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your getaway in Apan.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pack a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Apan, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag 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 headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
