We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Mio in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Mio in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
