If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Prela.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Prela, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
