Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.

Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Diamond Springs, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
