We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Highland in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Highland, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater 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.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
