We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Strathmore in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

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 avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Strathmore, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
