We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Ranlo in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Ranlo, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
