If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Beaver Meadows. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Beaver Meadows, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
