We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Larsen Bay in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Larsen Bay a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new cologne? 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 bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
