We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Hannibal in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Hannibal, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
