We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Turnpike in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Turnpike, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
