If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a comfortable start to your time in Benkovac.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Benkovac, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
