We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and discovering Yuli in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Yuli in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
