We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Bedford Heights in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Bedford Heights a piece of cake. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids 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 single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
