We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring Wake in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Wake a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
