If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Ksar es Seghir. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Ksar es Seghir easy and painless. Read through our handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
