• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Isle of Gigha in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
