• Air travel can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Chacachacare, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
