We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Franklin in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Franklin in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
