• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don’t forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don’t forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

It’s all about being prepared. We’ve pulled together some top tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Batumi, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don’t have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It’s also possible you’ll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can’t be taken on board. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
