We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Izena in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Izena easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
