If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Tintwistle. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Tintwistle quick and painless. Below are some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Have your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
