We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Vayalar in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Vayalar easy and painless. We've rounded up some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
