We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and exploring Orange Beach before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Orange Beach in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
