We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Long Jetty in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Long Jetty easy and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
