We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Lauvstad in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. 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 Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume 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 a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lauvstad in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Have your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
