We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Lawai before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lawai in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids 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-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
