We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Selargius in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Selargius, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
