We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Kawana in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Kawana a breeze. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Travelling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
