We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a blast in Marina Julia in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Marina Julia a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
