If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your vacation in Kanjiramattom.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Look out Kanjiramattom, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
