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

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Wayne a pleasure. Below you'll find some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Have your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
