We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Tomball in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Tomball a breeze. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
