We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Ganvie before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to Ganvie a breeze. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
