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

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Traveston in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Have your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, 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), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
