We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Magari before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Magari quick and painless. Below are some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
