We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Lincoln in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Lincoln, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with a new perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
