We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and seeing the best of Hamilton before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Hamilton a piece of cake. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• 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.
