We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Central City in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Central City a breeze. Read through our top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
