We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and discovering Hang Chat in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Hang Chat, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
