We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Caupenne-d'Armagnac in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Caupenne-d'Armagnac, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
