We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Bir Jdid in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Bir Jdid, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
