We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring Union City in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and take a jacket just in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Union City, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
