• A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Banj in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
