We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and discovering Chesapeake Beach in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Chesapeake Beach in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
