If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Kingsthorpe. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

Being organized before your flight will make your getaway to Kingsthorpe quick and painless. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
