• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Kouan Tchai, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
