We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Buruanga in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Buruanga in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
