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 speeding through airport security and having a ball in Port Chester in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach 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:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Port Chester in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
