We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Barwon Heads in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Barwon Heads, here you come:

• Have your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
