If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your time in Titusville. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Titusville, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
