We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Meredithville in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Meredithville in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
