If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Sharon Hill. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Sharon Hill, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
