We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Silo in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Silo a breeze. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
