We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Hanakere in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

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

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, 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 headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
