If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your vacation in Kibaha. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Kibaha easy and painless. Read through our handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
