We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Rutledge in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns 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. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Rutledge easy and painless. We've compiled some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
