If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your vacation in Glud.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Glud a breeze. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• 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 soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
