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

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Myrtle Grove in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
