We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Tirat Zvi in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Tirat Zvi, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
