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

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Bordelonville a pleasure. Below are some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
