We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and enjoying Thagoona before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be well organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Thagoona in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
