Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.

But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.

• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
