If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Yaphank.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh 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 as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

It's easy --- be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Yaphank, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
