We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Orrs Island in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, 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. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Orrs Island, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
