What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
