We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Nidur in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Nidur a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
