If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Woodville.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Woodville easy and painless. Below are some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• 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 clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
