We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Codo in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

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 avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Codo, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, 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), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
