Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to pack a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Nakhal, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
