If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Johnson.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Johnson in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
