• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Look out Dearborn, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger 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.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• 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 in the cabin.
