• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a pullover just in case you get chilly. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out North Reading, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, 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). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
