We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Cambados in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Cambados, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? 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 zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
