If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your vacation in Limenaria. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Limenaria a pleasure. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• 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 bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take 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.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
