We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and enjoying Trinity in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget 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 can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Trinity in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
