If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Moresby.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Moresby in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
