We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and discovering Sligachan in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sligachan in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
