We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Bender in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Bender a pleasure. Below you'll find some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
