We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Faris before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Faris a piece of cake. Check out our top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is 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 in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
