We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Patton in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Patton, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
