We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Pawleys Island before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Pawleys Island, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
