We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Schliengen before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, 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 aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Schliengen in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Travelling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
