• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Howick in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
