We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Dingli in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Dingli in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
