We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Cook's Bay in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and pack a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Cook's Bay in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
