If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Tenstrike.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be the goal when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Tenstrike, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, 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), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
