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

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Thompsontown quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Have your travel documents and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
