We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and discovering Porter in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Porter in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually 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 inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
