We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Brownsville before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Brownsville a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
