We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Brandis in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Brandis, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
