We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Venosc in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Venosc, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
