If you're not prepared, traveling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a stress-free start to your time in Sandusky.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and take a sweater just in case you get chilly. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Sandusky, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? 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 clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
