If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Acton. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Acton in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
