We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Onna in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Onna, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? 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 zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
