We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Lamma Island in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Lamma Island a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• 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, you can keep it with you on board.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
