We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Isla Arena in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and bring a cardigan in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Isla Arena a breeze. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
