We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and enjoying Nicosia in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case you get cold. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

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

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
