If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Laurel Bloomery. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Laurel Bloomery, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
