If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your time in Bouffemont. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Bouffemont, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
