If you're not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Darende. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Darende, here you come:

• Keep your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
