We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Gerry in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Gerry, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
