We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Menyamya in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Menyamya easy and painless. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
