If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a pleasant start to your vacation in Sor. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Sor easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
