We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Malakal Island in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Malakal Island quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
