• The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put 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) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be the goal when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

It’s all about being organized. We’ve pulled together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Mountain View, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don’t have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Can’t travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, it’s OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
• Sharp items like knives can’t be taken on board. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
