Also, if you're travelling with hand baggage only and have 2 or more items, be careful with security when back at the gate. The security zone is quite cramped and, if they decide to be thorough, the process can be a bit of a pain.
Just to reiterate, you'll have to take all your stuff off the aircraft (even if you are continuing in the same seat) and go through another security check at the gate before re-boarding (I can't remember if there is a fast track at the gate?).
