• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear compression socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out North Lake, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
