We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Kapaau before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Kapaau a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
