We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Atlantic Highlands in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Atlantic Highlands in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
