If you’re poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your time in Glencoe.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We’ve put together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Glencoe, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can’t be taken on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
