We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Lower Economy in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Lower Economy, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
