We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and seeing the best of Rowland Heights in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and remember to pack a jacket just in case you get chilly. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Rowland Heights in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
