We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and enjoying Ben Town in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Ben Town, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• 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.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
