We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Selayar Island before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and bring a sweater in case it gets cool. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Selayar Island, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
