• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Tavistock, here you come:

• Keep your passport and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in 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.
