If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in Riverbank.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Riverbank a pleasure. Read through our top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
