We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Pirkkala in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Pirkkala in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by 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 set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
