We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Dennis Port in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Dennis Port a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
