We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a blast in Narbolia in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and bring a cardigan just in case you get cold. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Narbolia, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring 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.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
