We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Milton Damerel before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Milton Damerel in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
