• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Vleesbaai, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
