We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Porthdinllaen before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Porthdinllaen in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? No 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 fine to bring with you on board.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
