We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of McGregor in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks is also recommended.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out McGregor, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
