We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and exploring Glenmore in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Glenmore a breeze. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
