If you're not prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Clarencefield.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and take a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Clarencefield quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
