We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Balclutha before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Balclutha, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
