• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you’ll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, 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:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There’s lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.

It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve compiled some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Belawan, here you come:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots 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 or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
