• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

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 nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Torres Vedras a piece of cake. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring 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.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
