We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Pol in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be the goal when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Pol, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
