If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your holiday in Tighnabruaich. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget 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 sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Tighnabruaich, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
