If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Bohmte. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Bohmte, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
