We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Jordan in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Jordan, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
