We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Othery in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Othery in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
