• The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Old Fort in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
