If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your vacation in Trout River.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and bring a pullover in case it gets cool. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Trout River, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
