We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Laterns in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Laterns a breeze. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Have your travel documents and ID handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
