We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Cedar Island in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Cedar Island a pleasure. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Have your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy 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 luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
