We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Pernem in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Pernem, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often 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 in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
