If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Nanuya Lailai Island. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Nanuya Lailai Island, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes 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 safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
