• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

It's easy --- be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Look out Athy, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
