We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Kuda Bandos before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Kuda Bandos a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
