If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your vacation in Gorebridge.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Gorebridge, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
