We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and enjoying Wellington East before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Wellington East, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
