We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and discovering Maryville in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Maryville before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
