We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Haou in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Haou a breeze. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
