We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Spotsylvania in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Spotsylvania in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
