If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Leiro.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Leiro, here you come:

• Keep your passport and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
