If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Maurens-Scopont.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Maurens-Scopont quick and painless. Below are some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater 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 sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra 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.
