We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Prince Frederick in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a 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:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Prince Frederick, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
