If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in South Hackensack.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out South Hackensack, here you come:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
