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

• First, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

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

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
