If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Wilnsdorf. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Wilnsdorf, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
