If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in Lake Alice. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Lake Alice a pleasure. Below are some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
