We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Galesville before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Galesville, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
