We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and enjoying Hugo in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Hugo, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
