We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Forest City in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Forest City in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
