If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Colwyn Bay.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a comfy 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:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and bring a pullover in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Colwyn Bay a pleasure. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
