We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Palmer in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Palmer a piece of cake. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
