• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, 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 items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some top tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Wichita Falls, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
