We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Pacific Palisades in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Pacific Palisades easy and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
