We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Travers in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Travers, here you come:

• Keep your passport and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
