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

• Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater just in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is --- be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Petersfield, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
