We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Gharb in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

It's easy --- be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Gharb, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
