We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Alabaster in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks can also help.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your trip to Alabaster a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
