We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and discovering Avoca Beach in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

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 sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Avoca Beach quick and painless. We've compiled some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
