We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and seeing the best of Eh'mafushi before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to 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 organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Eh'mafushi in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
