We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Waverly in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Waverly, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
