• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good read. You’ll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don’t have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Bangalow before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
• Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
