We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Scarsdale before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Scarsdale, here you come:

• Have your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray 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-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
