We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be cruising through the airport and exploring Iki in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

It’s all about being organized. We’ve put together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Iki, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don’t have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• 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-lock bag, it’s OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
