We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and discovering Monte Escobedo in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Monte Escobedo in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
