• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

It's easy --- be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Isovol, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
