We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in American River in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended 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 improve your circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to American River in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
