We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Fairplay in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Most travelers are aware of 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 socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Fairplay, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
