• The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and take a jacket just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Oakland Gardens, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
