We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Grub in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Grub in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
