We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and seeing the best of Mani in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Mani in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
