We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and discovering Al Andalus in no time at all.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Al Andalus a pleasure. Below you'll find some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
