If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in Densus.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and pack a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Densus in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item 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-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• 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 baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
