We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Jember in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Jember in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
