If you're not prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your time in Laurito.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Laurito a breeze. Below are some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
