We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying Beaverton in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Beaverton, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
