We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Mount Baldy before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Mount Baldy, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
