We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Skytop in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Skytop a breeze. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
