We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Lanham in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant 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 hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Lanham, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. 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 on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
