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

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Olawa, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
