We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Kings Mountain in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, 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:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Kings Mountain quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
