• First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Calcatoggio, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, 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.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. 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-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
