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

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've pulled together some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Niles, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. 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.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
