We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Assat in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Assat, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
