• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Nova Hartz, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
