We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Temae in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Temae, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, 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 faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
