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

• Air travel can be easy if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Oakdale a breeze. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
