If you’re poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a comfortable start to your vacation in Bel Ombre.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and bring a cardigan in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There’s lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The answer is — be prepared. We’ve put together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Bel Ombre, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don’t hold up the queue.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It’s also likely that you’ll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
