If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in Erdut.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Erdut in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
