We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Elverta in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Elverta quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
