• A plane trip can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We’ve put together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Bidiya, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
• 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-close bag, it’s OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won’t allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
