We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and enjoying Vandalia in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare 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 the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Vandalia a breeze. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
