We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Midpines in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Midpines a breeze. Below you'll find some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
