We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and discovering Salve before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Salve easy and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
