If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your getaway in Daarle. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Daarle, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually 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-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
