If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your vacation in Gazipur. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your trip to Gazipur a pleasure. Below are some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
