If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Hautat Sudair.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be the goal when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

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

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
