We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and enjoying Aberdeen in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

The secret is to be organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Aberdeen in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
