We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and exploring Faridkot in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Faridkot a breeze. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
