If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Prachatice.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Prachatice in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually 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 in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
