We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Ongole in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ongole in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
