We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and discovering Pondi in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Pondi easy and painless. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Have your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
