We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Buctzotz in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

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 banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Buctzotz in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
