We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Gibsonville in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin 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 pick flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Gibsonville quick and painless. Read through our useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
