If you're not prepared, travelling can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Sparks Glencoe. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Sparks Glencoe in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
