If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your vacation in East Knoyle.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change 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 in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is --- be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out East Knoyle, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often 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 in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
