We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Oldwick in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Oldwick, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
