We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Avon in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Avon before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater 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 practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
