If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Burlington.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is --- be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Burlington, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
