We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Mġarr before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Mġarr a breeze. We've rounded up some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your passport and travel documents at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
