We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Ponda in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Ponda quick and painless. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes 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 bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
