We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a blast in Chalmette in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Chalmette a pleasure. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
