If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a worry-free start to your getaway in Bessemer City. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Bessemer City, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
