If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Petty Harbour-Maddox Cove.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Petty Harbour-Maddox Cove, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
