If you're not prepared, travelling can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your holiday in Forestville. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Forestville in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
