• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Goudhurst, here you come:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
