If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Fontanile.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your 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:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear compression socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The answer is --- be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Fontanile, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
