We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Toa Alta in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Toa Alta a pleasure. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
