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

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Maurertown in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
