• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

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 avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Palmer, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
