We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Troup in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Troup easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your passport and travel documents at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Want to bring along 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 in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in 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.
