We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Carmona in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Carmona before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• 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 soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
