Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Fa'aone could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Fa'aone, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• 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, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
