We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Ngaruawahia in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and bring a cardigan in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ngaruawahia in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
