We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and discovering Yokdzonot in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Yokdzonot in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
