We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Unzen in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Unzen in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
