If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Mori. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Mori a piece of cake. Below are some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
