If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Stittsville.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and bring a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Stittsville easy and painless. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
