If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Cantaous.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. 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, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Cantaous, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
