If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Lancefield. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Lancefield a pleasure. Below are some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? 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, you can bring it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
