We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Jeddah in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and bring a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Jeddah easy and painless. Check out our handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
