We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Vacoas-Phoenix before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Vacoas-Phoenix before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal 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 need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
