We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Miramar before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive 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:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Miramar in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
