• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Goldens Bridge, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
