If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Wentworth.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Wentworth, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
