• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Lund a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you 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 all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
