We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Spring Valley in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Spring Valley, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
