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

• A plane trip can be easy if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Dunvegan, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
