If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Cape Coast.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Cape Coast in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
