We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Troo in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, 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:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Troo in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often 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 single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
