We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of East Bay in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to East Bay quick and painless. Here are some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
