• Flying can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Aiea easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things 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 gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
