We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Avenel before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Avenel in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Have your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
