If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Newtown St Boswells. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Newtown St Boswells, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
