We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Port Macquarie in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and pack a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Port Macquarie quick and painless. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
