We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Dortan in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Dortan in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
