We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Sherman Oaks in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Sherman Oaks in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually 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.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
