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

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Middleton Stoney, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
