We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Umatilla in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Umatilla a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
