If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a pain-free start to your vacation in Durrington.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Durrington quick and painless. Below you'll find some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
