We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Nocara before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Nocara in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
