We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Ariana in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Ariana a pleasure. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
