We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and enjoying Lagoi before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Lagoi a pleasure. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a 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, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
