We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Itri in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Itri, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
