If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your getaway in Greenbush.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Greenbush, here you come:

• Keep your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
