If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your vacation in Chelmondiston.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and bring a cardigan in case you get cold. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

The trick is to be well organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Chelmondiston before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
