• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Taoroa Junction in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
