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

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, 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 on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Winter Park, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Travelling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
