We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and enjoying Traves before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

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 liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Traves a breeze. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
