We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Firestone before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Firestone before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
