If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Mouttagiaka.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Mouttagiaka a pleasure. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
