We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Blue Mound before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

Being organized before your flight will help make your trip to Blue Mound quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
