If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your getaway in Belle Cote.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to pack a jacket just in case you get cold. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Belle Cote quick and painless. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
