If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Brule. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Brule easy and painless. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will 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 scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
