We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and exploring Nanakuli in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Nanakuli a piece of cake. Check out our handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater 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 sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
