If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Durdat-Larequille. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

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 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 trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Durdat-Larequille a breeze. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Have your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. 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 baggage.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
