If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a stress-free start to your time in Lavendon.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

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 screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Watch out Lavendon, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
