We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and discovering Inari in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• It's likely you've 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 tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Inari a pleasure. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
