If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Attleboro. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Attleboro, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
