If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your holiday in East Harwich. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to East Harwich a piece of cake. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• 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 soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
