• A plane trip can be a great experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Newgate Street, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
