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 having a ball in Targa in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Targa, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
