If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Bornicke. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Bornicke, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
