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

• A plane ride can be easy if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Manase, here you come:

• Have your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
