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 airport security and having a ball in Tuxedo Park in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

The trick is to be well organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Tuxedo Park in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
