We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Columbiana in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Columbiana, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
