• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and take a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out East Kilbride, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
