We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and discovering Ambanja in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and don't forget to pack a pullover in case you get cold. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ambanja in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
