If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Wears Valley.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Wears Valley, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
