We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Kinchil in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing 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 hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks can also help.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Kinchil in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's 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.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
