• First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Nelson, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don’t hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There’s a good chance you’ll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
