We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Sde Boker in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Sde Boker, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and ID handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
