• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Summit, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
