We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Captains Flat before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly 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, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Captains Flat easy and painless. Below are some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
