We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Pathankot in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy --- first, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover just in case you get chilly. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

The simple answer is --- be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Pathankot, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
