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

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Pavilion in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
