We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Maamigili in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Maamigili a pleasure. Read through our handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
