If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Gevgelija.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Gevgelija quick and painless. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
