We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and discovering Fraser before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

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 knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Fraser, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often 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 single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
