We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Water Valley in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Water Valley in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big 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 safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
