We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Bishop in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Bishop a breeze. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
