We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Abu Dhabi before you know it.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 basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Abu Dhabi, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels 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 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
