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

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and pick slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Middlesex Centre before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
