If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Ponte Vedra Beach.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple --- be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Ponte Vedra Beach, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
