We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and discovering Bootle before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Bootle, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good 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 in the cabin.
