We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Volga in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Volga quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
