We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Rosedale in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Rosedale easy and painless. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
