We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and exploring Jordan Station in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The secret is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Jordan Station in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
