We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Moab in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Moab in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
