We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and exploring Hot Springs in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Hot Springs in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
