We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Rusper in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Rusper, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
