If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your vacation in Salt Cay.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Salt Cay, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
