We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of The Oa in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to The Oa a piece of cake. Check out our top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Have your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
