• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The answer is simple --- be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Folkestone, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. 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 for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
