If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Wattsville.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

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

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
