• It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Malverne, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil 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), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
