We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Chabons in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Chabons, here you come:

• Have your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
