If you’re not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your vacation in Lost Nation.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you’ll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

It’s all about being prepared. We’ve put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Lost Nation, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don’t hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
