We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Laren in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Laren, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky 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 safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
