• The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks can also help.

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

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
