We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Altona in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Altona a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually 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 in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
