• Flying can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Tsuha, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
