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

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel 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 your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Trail in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
