If you’re not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in St. John’s.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to St. John’s a piece of cake. We’ve rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don’t hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
• Can’t travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
