We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and discovering Hanioti in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Hanioti, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
