If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your vacation in Rayland.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Rayland, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
