We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you’ll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Pego in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good book. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes 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 conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Pego quick and painless. We’ve compiled some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
