We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying El Makina in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

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 sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to El Makina in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
