If you're not prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a comfortable start to your vacation in Kyle. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Kyle in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
