We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Son Rapinya in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Son Rapinya a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
