We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in St. Columb Major in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to St. Columb Major a breeze. We've rounded up some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
