We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Marshall in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Marshall, here you come:

• Have your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
