We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Old Ocean before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

The simple answer is --- be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Old Ocean, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
