We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and exploring Chexbres in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Chexbres, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your coat, 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 easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
