• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and bring a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Look out Monument Beach, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
